I just purchased Pocket Backup and I was wondering about the following:
<br>1. Can the program be installed on the storage card? If not how do I restore after a hard reset or battery drain if the program is in main memory which is now wiped out?
<br>2. Can files that are on the storage card be backed up as well?
<br>3. Can a backup be made to my desktop?
<br>

: 1. Can the program be installed on the storage card? If not how do I restore after a hard reset or battery drain if the program is in main memory which is now wiped out?
<br>ANSWER: Yes, Pocket Backup can be installed on a storage card.  Then, after a hard reset, use File Explorer to find and run Pocket Backup.
<br>: 2. Can files that are on the storage card be backed up as well?
<br>ANSWER: To backup files on a storage card, turn the option to exclude persistent storage off. (Backup->Options->Exclude PersistentStorage)
<br>: 3. Can a backup be made to my desktop?
<br>ANSWER: Pocket Backup does not currently offer the ability to backup directly to a desktop PC, although this feature is on our roadmap.  One way to get around this is to set up a folder that is synchronised with the desktop PC.  Then create backup files in the synchronised directory.  This way your backups will be automatically copied to your desktop when you synchronise.
